The hotel has a superb location on the Brisbane riverside with a wonderful view, providing a warm and vibrant interior conducive to work needs and relaxation. The rooms were a bit small compared to others, facing the nature wall and not ready at the allocated check-in time, but the service was fabulous and went out of their way to celebrate our anniversary. The dining was good but limited, and the in-house breakfast tasted amazing. The common areas presented incredible artwork and photography, creating a fantastic atmosphere.

The hotel is conveniently located at Howard Smith Wharves, offering a vibrant atmosphere with easy access to Brisbane's popular spots. While the rooms are well-insulated from street noise, the outdated decor and occasional disturbances from the carpark and recycling area may affect your stay. The service is generally accommodating, although at times overwhelmed by the demands. The dining experience varies, with some delays in service but ultimately delivering tasty options. The hotel's facilities provide a decent stay, but improvements could enhance the overall experience.

The hotel is in a bustling location with many activities nearby. The rooms are spacious, tastefully decorated, and face a charming nature wall. The service is exceptional, with prompt issue resolution and personal apologies from the hotel GM. Despite some noise from the Storey Bridge, the location is fantastic for enjoying Brisbane City's attractions. The dining options are exquisite but limited in terms of service speed.

The hotel's rooms were not clean, small, and noisy due to granite flooring. However, we were able to order food to the room despite being initially misinformed about restaurant deliveries. The check-in process was delayed due to a power issue resulting in only one room being ready.
